Re: Replace Dead Server

If you have another identical DL380 server - just move SCSI drives from broken server to new server - RAID configuration stored on SCSI drives, so then you put drives to new server you will have working configuration.
Identical DL380 mean same server generation (for example DL380 G1) and same SmartArray controller.

Re: Replace Dead Server

Thank you very much, it solved my problem, i think this is a new feature because it used not to work in the old servers.
